Women with disabilities in northern Uganda experience ongoing discrimination and sexual and gender-based violence, Human Rights Watch group said in a report released on Thursday.
Many are marginalised, unable to gain access to basic services, including health care and justice, and they have been largely ignored in post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
The 73-page report, "'As If We Weren't Human': Discrimination and Violence against Women with Disabilities in Northern Uganda,"describes frequent abuse and discrimination by strangers, neighbours, and even family members against women and girls living with disabilities in the north.
Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb reports from northern Uganda - a region recently emerging from over two decades of civil war between the rebel Lord's Resistance Army(LRA) and the government.

Recent polls show that four out of five Czechs say it's difficult to live side by side with Roma people. Ahead of the parliamentary elections, what are the hopes and expectations of this population? The AFPTV meets a Roma family, victims of a recent arson attack. Duration: 02:07

A very eye opening documentary investigation. Note that even though this is from a non-Christian secular point of view the investigators conclude themselves that there is so much discrimination against Christians going on in the UK now that there is a discernable and worrying pattern. Why should Christians be denied rights?

Project Kalki is the voice of the voiceless. Transgender women, all over the world, have been the most marginalised, stigmatised and discriminated community for centuries. Except in Tamilnadu, our voices have not been heard anywhere in India.
This is a project to empower those women to speak who have not spoken, to hear their voices. To empower them to tell the world what they wanted to say through video films. As citizens of this great country, transgender women also care about other under privileged people and care about social problems of this country.
In this dream project, Kalki provides a Canon Legria FS 200 hanycam to seven under privileged transgender women. They are also provided with all the accessories needed for filming. These women carry the camera in their hands for a few days and shoot their stories and subjects. After one person completes the filming, she hands it over to the next girl. When all the seven girls finish their shoots, their films are edited and made as short documentary films by themselves.
These subjects these girls have chosen are all unique. For example, Gomathi wants to do a short documentary on street children, Sandhiya wants to do a story on abandoned aged people and Monal does a story on garbage pickers. Some girls have chosen the subject of their relationships.
These films will be screened at a venue in Chennai and other places in India.

Inaugurating the 5th national conference of Nepal Utapidit Jatiya Mukti Samaj in Kathmandu on Tuesday, General Secretary of CPN-UML Ishwor Pokharel said that new constitution should guarantee equal rights to Dalits, and other marginalised communities.

This is a response to - I hope I get this right- ZOMGITSCriss video Criticising Islam.
Yeah.... I don't see how the first part of your video is really connected with the second part. Also, you emphasize how you take a middle-of-the-road stance on it all, but﻿ it still begs one question: Do you think atheists and other critics of religion should be more sensitive and responsible (even by the most minuscule amount) when it comes to criticising Islam as compared to Christianity (which is the majority and dominant religion in the west and IMHO does not require protection of minority rights because of persecution).
I am not saying not to criticise Islam at all but maybe for atheists to keep that in mind that Muslims are a persecuted minority subject to ethnic profiling and Religious discrimination in the west which mainstream Christians do not have to face at all because they have historically gotten their way. Bottom line is to be responsible about what you say; think﻿ about the consequences especially for Muslims and their respective communities.
Also, as for﻿ the last part, I admit, it is a very difficult problem, but the solution ultimately lies in integrating Muslims and their respective ethnic communities into the west better. I think the real difference between the religious abuse Christians suffer from and Muslims and ex-Muslims suffer from is that Muslims are also more marginalised in the first place (Makes it all the more severe and that they lack support networks in western society).

ActionAid is partnering with women across rural India to rally together to demand rights and schemes for their communities to end poverty and play active role in village council. The process involves using community mobilisation techniques to make women from Dalit and marginalised communities aware of their rights. Most of these women have also challenged caste-based discrimination.

Blind hatred. Political and economic discrimination. Social marginalization. Think it's all ancient history? For the Roma (Gypsy) people, it's a daily reality.
Through the "I Am Roma" video documentary, you will meet students from the Gandhi School in Pécs, Hungary and see what its like to be ostracized just for being born Roma. But you will also experience their warmth and kindness, hear their music, and learn how powerful the light of love can be in a dark place.
Links to purchase the DVD and audio CD are coming soon. All proceeds will be used to further the formal education of students of the Gandhi School and Gandhi School graduates.

Over the last two or three decades Afro-Colombians increasingly organized over issues of discrimination and marginalization. They have demanded equality and justice in a number of ways including in education, employment and land rights. A section of these demands have been in the form of claims to autonomy and to territory as ethnic groups under the rubric of Law 70 and the 1991 Constitution. Others in the form of civil rights as marginalized racial groups under the rubric of the 1991 constitution and constitutional court ruling T 422. In combination these legal structures include provisions for education, for representation and for collective territories. In the process of mobilization and recognition there is a divide between claims to equality within the law and claims to equality through separate laws. To put it another way, there is a divide between claims to civil rights and social justice on one hand and to autonomy on the other. In this moment of transforming states what do these claims mean for citizenship? I suggest that claims by Afro-Colombians profoundly challenge what it means to be a citizen in Colombia and further afield.

The United Motorcycle Council of Queensland was officially launched in Brisbane on Sunday April 19, 2009.
One of the Councils first goals is to contribute to the public debate about the proposed anti-association legislation which would effectively outlaw motorcycle clubs. However this was not the catalyst for the formation of the UMCQ.
Discussions between Queensland clubs to form the Council began in October 2008, as clubs recognised the need to peacefully resolve disputes away from the public eye.
The objectives of the council are:
•To lobby for fair treatment of all motorcyclists.
•To lobby against unjust laws for all Australians.
•To lobby against any form of discrimination or marginalisation of motorcycle clubs and motorcyclists.
•To join with other interest groups in joint lobbying as agreed.
•To provide education regarding human rights and responsibilities.

Hillary Clinton and Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius are offering extensive apologies for giving Guatemalans STD's in 1940s! Apparently the US injected gonorrhea and syphilis into hundreds of people, some mentally ill, without their knowledge or consent. They then encouraged the infected people to pass along their illness to others to further the study. Even worse a majority never got treatment. Honestly do they really think a "sorry" is going to cut.

Background
Women all over the world have had the challenge of tackling stereotypes and breaking through the moulds that has been imposed on them. To add to a long list of assertions, in particular Muslim women are sympathised due to perceptions of being 'oppressed', 'weak', and 'living in a patriarchal society'. While it has been acknowledged that there are women who fit the stereotype and fall neatly into the mould, is such the case for only 'Muslim' women? Does the stereotype exist because of Islam or due to cultural practices and traditions? Are active Muslim women the exception, or are they progressively becoming the rule?
In addition, Muslim women are a largely misunderstood and misrepresented body of society. As a result of skewed media spin and a lack of platforms and opportunities to represent themselves, a narrow and closed-minded view of Muslim women prevails.
Rationale
The subject of Muslim women can often be a controversial one, but it is one that needs to be discussed and debated in an environment conducive to Muslim women. For too long Muslim women have been analysed by those from the outside; often with prejudgements and assertions already rooted in place. It is time for Muslim women to take the lead in discussing the issues which directly concern and impact their lives.
A series of shows engaging Muslim women from a variety of sectors and professions would serve to;
 Provide an open platform for Muslim women to share their insight and experiences
 Acknowledge and bring to light the contributions and achievements of Muslim women
 Stimulate discussion between community members, groups and leaders as well as external and internal organisations concerning issues related to the activities of Muslim women
 Distil media portrayal and stereotyping of Muslim women and highlight the colourful diversity found within the Muslim community
Series Framework
The shows will air on Channel NTV fortnightly for a period of six months and will also be able to be accessed via the Faith Regen Website. The show has been provided a primetime slot at Friday 7:30pm-8:30pm and is repeated on the following Monday 3:30pm-4:30pm.

Transgender woman in India's Bangalore contests local election, inspires her community to fight for their rights Christy Raj, a transgender himself, tells us about Veena S -- the first member of his community in Bangalore who entered the poll fray this year. Veena -- a male to female transgender and a Dalit, contested the election of Bangalore municipality this March' 2010. Though she did not win, her move has inspired the entire community to stand up and claim their rights that have been denied for long. In February 2010 the election commission of India - the apex body that conducts the elections in the country -- allowed intersex and transsexuals the right to register as voters. Following this Veena decided to contest in the local election. She was supported by her community members and NGOs in Bangalore working for the rights of sexual minority. Born into a poor family, Veena grew up in a slum and experienced all the hardships that the transgender community members in India face: Deprivation of civic rights such as claiming employment and health benefits, right to marry and own a passport or a driving license. Worst still, she couldn't claim the benefits of the public distribution system (PDS) that allows Indian citizens to buy essential items such as rice or cooking gas at subsidized prices. Since she is also a Dalit, she also faced caste discrimination which added to her sufferings. Veena has been fighting against this denial of rights, as well as the rights of However, despite the difficulties , she has managed to is a hijra, a transsexual woman women, Dalits, and sex workers, which led to her selection as a candidate According to Christy Raj, Veena's participation has been a symbolic breakthrough for her community. It has inspired the entire community to claim the rights that they have been denied for long, says Christy who neither has a ration card himself, nor a passport. Christy feels that though Veena lost this election, from now on there will be regular This is merely a sign of change on the paper. With support from non-governmental organisations and platforms, transgender people are organising to demand jobs, protection and entitlements. "Till today we have only been perceived as beggars, sex workers and troublemakers. Now, Veena's decision to contest the election has sent the message that we transgenders can also play the role of leadership.' says Christy.

Must watch - This man speaks the truth about why if men dont have the right to cover their faces, neither should women be given the freedom to be treated differently. Again, like the saying goes...Tolerance is NOT a one way street. Respect and treatment for men and women should be equal. This Interview was on Sky news with the Muslim Imam Dr Imam Hargey who is Raising his concerns over Extremism and Islamic Radicalism in the UK.
What this man is doing must be applauded, he is brave for speaking out from his community and position in the muslim community. This comes amid debate and calls for Banning the burka in the UK after a BIll has been proposed to ban face coverings in the UK by British MP Philip Hollobone and after a Damian Green called a Burka Ban un-British after 2/3's of British people voted in FAVOR of a Burka Ban. So are 2/3's Of Britons now Un-British Mr. Green? I think not.

Through the generosity of people like you, ICC is able to provide housing, education, proper nutrition, medical care and therapy each and every day in a caring, nurturing environment for hundreds of children. It also enables ICC to work with families who have children with disabilities to prevent abandonment.

This book is a great buy for anyone but it focuses particularly n the plight of Women and those of West Indian heritage living in the islands. Issues faced by women in poor and developing nations are explored as they and their children continue to be the poorest, uneducated, most marginalized, under employed, under-paid, abused and murdered.
Amongst poor women further marginalization occurs based on skin colour and hair texture. Darker shades of women are bypassed in preference of those of a lighter skin complexion or less kinked hair. This form of reverse racism has impacted negatively on the psyche of BLACK (as in the skin shade) girls and their inability to advance in society. This cycle has lead to a downward spiral that has made BLACK women the invisible - not only in the smaller society but the international media/world.
This novel quintet is the voice of WOMAN crying out and a voice that must be heard as HÉLÈNE CIXOUS says:
"Woman must write herself, must write about women and bring women to writing, from which they have been driven away as violently as from their bodies, for the same reasons, by the same law, with the same fatal goal. Woman must put herself into text— as into the world and into history— by her own movement."
Tricia Trotman-Maraj is the first Black West Indian woman living in the West Indies to have attempted such a project. Nevertheless, support from Corporate Trinidad & Tobago for a project of this magnitude and importance has been less than lukewarm. 'Mamie' is the first title in the series and will be followed by four more titles once sponsors come forward. If you or your company wishes to partner with Tricia Trotman-Maraj for this cause please contact her at the website listed on the video (www.westindianchronicles.cjb.net) or google the title and pick up copies of the novel at a location nearest you. It is available globally! Remember: Every book sold counts!
Thanks so much!

Religious Leaders Pledge for Equality for People Living with HIV
Bangalore, 28 September 2010: Acknowledging the significant influence that faith-based groups have on general public, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder, Art of Living Foundation, along with high-level religious leaders from all faiths, who attended the two-day interfaith summit on HIV & AIDS, jointly announced a 'declaration' to remove stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV. The summit concluded with a pledge to undertake the responsibility of working tirelessly to remove all forms of roadblocks, isolation and marginalization of people living with and affected by HIV.
Munisri Jinesh Kumarji, Sri Jain Shvetambar Terapanth Sabha, Avtar Singh Makkar , Shiromani Gurdwara Parbhandhak Committee, Golden Temple, Amritsar, Ervad Noshir Dadrawala, Centre of Advancement of Philanthrophy, Dryuhannon Mar Dios Corus, Metropolitan of Chennai, Syed Ghulam Kibria Dastagir, President, Anjuman Syed Zadjan, Ajmer Dargah Sharif, Swami Dharmavallabh Das, Swami Narayan Gurukul, His Holiness Phrakhrupipipsutatorn, AIMA, Thailand and Param Poojya Asaram Bapu signed the declaration and advocated for an AIDS free India.
Leaders across faith groups pledged to utilise their sacred scriptures and traditions to actively promote these messages and talk openly about key issues on HIV and AIDS during religious discourses in their communities. They also promised to work in partnership with organisations and networks of people living with HIV, Government, NGOs and other partners to enabling a stigma free environment to access HIV services in healthcare settings and defend their fundamental freedoms and human rights.
Declaration:
A) Mobilize human resources from the faith communities to complement the efforts of the Government to ensure that people from all communities can access services on HIV prevention, care and treatment.
B) Believe that every child has a right to be born without HIV- and every mother to treatment for her own HIV and other health needs. Therefore, pledge to mobilize communities to support all pregnant women to access formal healthcare and HIV testing services in recognition of the fact that HIV positive mothers can have children free from HIV- and can live for many years as healthy mothers, raising their children to adulthood.
C) Support promotion of voluntary testing in an environment which has confidentiality, informed consent and counselling and will work to develop these services in our communities, medical and faith institutions
D) Leaders to use the platform to actively promote these messages and talk openly about key issues on HIV during our religious discourses in our communities and among our peers.
E) Wholeheartedly endorse the importance of an Interfaith Coalition with the National Secretariat to coordinate the interfaith response to HIV.
"The declaration is the outcome of a promising response of religious leaders across faith and our partners who supported us in our initiative. Forums like these not only break the inter-cultural barriers but also strengthen the initiative taken to eradicate stigmas like HIV from the society. It is encouraging to be a part of the drive to combat HIV and standing for a cause. I am hopeful of more such platforms inviting participation from diversified fraternities." said Sri Sri Ravi Sankar.
The summit witnessed participation from over 300 religious leaders besides Prof. Charles Gilks, Country Coordinator UNAIDS India, Dr. Ennapadam S. Krishnamoorthy, APAC-VHS, USAID, Karin Hulshof and UNICEF India Representative, Mr R R Jannu, PD, KSAPS. A workshop attended for and by the religious leaders on the approach to remove stigma and discrimination reiterated their commitment to create a favourable environment for the HIV positive people.
Effective messages by HIV positive people including living with HIV- Reverend J. P. Heath, who is also the Founder Member and Acting Executive Director of INERELA +, motivated the religious leaders to commit themselves fully to support the national HIV response and bring the resources of the faith communities behind the common goal of halting and reversing the HIV epidemic.

David Bearman, M.D., author of "Demons, Discrimination and Dollars," discusses with MedicalMarijuana411.com the effects of Cananbis and Ritalin. Some people use Cannabis instead of Ritalin, Dexadrine or other sympathomedic drugs other people use Cannabis with Ritalin because the side effects of Ritalin can include: depressed appetite, difficulty sleeping and jitteriness and Cannabis has the exact opposite effect, in addition to helping people to focus and concentrate more.

HIV Experts and activist from all around the world explain why human rights are so important in the fight against the HIV epidemic.
At the United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS in 2006, world leaders reaffirmed that the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all is an essential element in the global response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Yet, 25 years into the AIDS epidemic, the essential element remains the missing piece in the fight against AIDS.
International organizations produced the joint statement: "Human Rights and HIV/AIDS Now More Than Ever - 10 Reasons Why Human Rights Should Occupy the Center of the Global AIDS Struggle". This joint statement, endorsed by over 650 organizations and networks worldwide, affirms that, now more than ever, human rights should occupy the center of the global struggle against HIV and AIDS.
The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union produced a series of short films to help explain why human rights is so important, and to call organizations worldwide to join the call and endorse the joint statement at:
